RETRO: PICTURES: Golden days of Doncaster park

The news that a £5 million restaurant and cafe bar plan for one of Doncaster's best-loved parks is set to create 100 jobs has been welcomed by visitors.

Sandall Park is one of Doncaster's most popular outdoor spots and in recent years has been returned to its former glory by volunteer group the Friends of Sandall Park, which has turned its fortunes around.

We're taking a nostalgic look back at Sandall Park in days gone by in our latest picture gallery.

* A book, Sandall Park: Past and Present, penned by historian Symeon Waller is available, charting its creation, heyday in the 60s and 70s and demise in the 80s before its rebirth.

The book is available through the Friends’ website at www.sandallpark.org.uk or on 0750 332 9309.
